"About 15 of us were
within 3 miles of Anzac when we struck Turks' main body. In retiring
Bell got wounded and we had to leave him. This was April 25, 5pm.
This is all we know of him"
"Pt Bell was
with witness with an advance party on 25.4.15 when he was shot in the
middle of the thigh. His two companions bound up his wound. Witness
states that the party had to retire and in all probability Bell
had to be left. This is the last that is known of him.
